What We Do
The Vision
Our vision is to provide a space in which children are free and trusted to learn and thrive, self-directed, at their own pace, with the support of a loving community.
The Mission
KindKin is an environment for self-directed education, encouraging children to pursue activities and experiences based on their curiosities. We are a community dedicated to cultivating knowledge, fostering skill acquisition, and facilitating personal development. Our offerings are designed to support a cycle of intention setting, creation, reflection, and sharing. KindKin Collective thrives with active engagement of all its members.
Our daily rhythm
We usually start each day with a game then move into our intention setting by filling the Set The Day board. This is where each member of our community has an opportunity to voice what they want to do each day. The day often consists of lots of play, games, artsy projects, music, an outing, plus offerings led by facilitator or members. Our days unfold together naturally; sometimes we follow the day we set together and other days we flow in a different direction. We close each day with group cleanup then a 'Rose, Bud, Thorn' reflection. We consciously create and adjust our culture as needed to best fit the needs of the group.
